Pope asks: ‘Do we believe that Jesus can heal?’
June 29, 2015
In his June 28 Angelus address, Pope Francis reflected on the Gospel of the day (Mark 5:21-43), which recounted the raising of a synagogue official’s child and the healing of a woman with a hemorrhage.
“These two episodes, a healing and resurrection, have a single center: faith,” the Pope said. “The message is clear and can be summed up in one question: Do we believe that Jesus can heal us and can awaken us from the dead?”
The Gospel, Pope Francis continued, “invites us to live in the certainty of the Resurrection: Jesus is the Lord, he has power over evil and death, and he wants to bring us to the house of the Father, where life reigns.”
